Zero-field mu SR experiments were performed on a series of polycrystalline samples of AA'3Mn4O12 double perovskites (A= Na+,Ca2+, La3+; A' = Cu2+, Mn3+) synthesized under high pressure. Spontaneous precession frequencies, of comparable magnitude to those previously reported in LaMnO3, were observed in all the family members except CaMn7O12. For all the samples, mu SR yielded determinations of the magnetic transition temperatures and of the order parameter in agreement with other techniques, but also revealed a peculiar phase separation in CaMn7O12, absent in the other compounds.

Abstract
Zero-field mu SR experiments were performed on a series of polycrystalline samples of AA'3Mn4O12 double perovskites (A= Na+,Ca2+, La3+; A' = Cu2+, Mn3+) synthesized under high pressure. Spontaneous precession frequencies, of comparable magnitude to those previously reported in LaMnO3, were observed in all the family members except CaMn7O12. For all the samples, mu SR yielded determinations of the magnetic transition temperatures and of the order parameter in agreement with other techniques, but also revealed a peculiar phase separation in CaMn7O12, absent in the other compounds.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
